The Los Angeles Festival of Movies has announced dates for the festival’s second edition, set to take place April 3-6.
The first festival, co-presented by Mubi and the Mezzanine film non-profit, drew a young and enthusiastic crowd to L.A. venues on the eastern side of town for events including the West Coast premiere of “I Saw the TV Glow” and “Good One,” as well as the first episode of HBO’s documentary series “Ren Faire,” and 4K restorations including Chantal Akerman’s “Toute Une Nuit.”

Nearly two decades after her passing, the legacy of Spanish singer and actress Rocío Dúrcal, nicknamed the “Queen of Rancheras”, will be brought to the screen in a movie biopic.
